Supports background checks & gun violence research
Theresa won't sit by when it comes to saving lives, reducing crime and keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals. Theresa will fight for legislation that keeps our kids and our communities safe. Whether it's working to expand background
checks, funding critical gun violence research, keeping guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and other criminals, such as those on the No Fly list, she will bring people together to find commonsense solutions to ensure we address gun violence.

Like many Iowans who have guns, supports bipartisan laws
She said growing up on a farm she spent time around guns that were used for shooting skeet, hunting, and for protecting her family's livestock. "I think Iowa is a state of responsible gun owners," Greenfield said. "Many Iowans do want sensible policies,
they want to talk about and have some action on how we keep guns out of the hands of folks who can hurt themselves and hurt others. I believe that bipartisan bill that the House has passed absolutely could be a step towards that," she explained.

Would allow CDC to do research on gun violence
Greenfield noted that another "good next step" would be to allow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to do research. "If we had anything else in this country where
40,000 people a year died from, as we do with gun violence, we would be doing research to find out and learn more and try to understand how we can curb that," she said. "I don't think we need assault weapons in everyone's hands," she noted.
